Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed its procurement process titled "Design for Life Decontamination Capacity Survey.v2", falling under the category of survey design services. This procurement, conducted via a selective method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, addressed the need for examining existing systems related to decontamination. The project, part of the broader initiative to foster a circular economy for medical products by 2045, had its tender period ending on 10th December 2025, with the contract running from 12th January 2026 to 31st March 2026. The contract was valued at £73,200, and services are anticipated to impact regions including Europe, the British Overseas Territories, and the broader UK, supporting the government's economic and sustainability goals.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing professional services, specifically within survey design. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) can particularly benefit from engaging in such government projects. The awarded contract to OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED, a large-scale supplier, demonstrates the scalability and breadth of opportunities available within this sector. Companies with expertise in medical supply chain resilience, digital infrastructure, or those transitioning towards sustainability in product lifecycles, would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders, thus gaining a foothold in government-backed environmental and economic reform initiatives.
